Many of these services will be co-located with primary and community care, with the aim of providing more convenient and tailored treatment.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 22/12/2017 14:02:45 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/05/2016 answer text <p>No National Health Service arm’s length bodies have merged or changed their name in the last 24 months. As of 1 April 2016, Monitor and the NHS Trust Development Authority (TDA) have been working under a shared leadership and operating framework as NHS Improvement. However, Monitor and the TDA have not formally merged. They continue to operate in line with their current legal underpinnings as two separate entities. In order to ensure that all NHS trusts and NHS foundation trusts have access to the same kinds of support and interventions there will be much more alignment between the two organisations so that they can deliver what patients and taxpayers have a right to expect. As at the end of March, the cost associated with the recruitment of NHS Improvement’s Chief Executive and designing and supporting NHS Improvement’s new structure and operating model has been £655,190. There may have been other costs associated with the alignment of the two organisations but these have been absorbed in their baseline funding allocations.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 05/05/2016 08:40:54 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2014 answer text <p>The Department does hold the information requested. Information for all contracts is however not held centrally and to provide a complete answer would require a review of each individual contract and invoice payment, and would result in disproportionate cost. Departmental expenditure with all suppliers is subject to rigorous procurement controls from initial formation of the contract to invoicing for services once they have been delivered.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Central Suffolk and North Ipswich answering member printed Dr Daniel Poulter question first answered 25/11/2014 17:38:53 answering member 3932 label Biography information for Dr Dan Poulter
